Hopefully it will make him play angry.

The real problem was that they would have had to film one eighth of the movie in Toronto which would have made it difficult to be successful.

I've heard of the expression tit for tat, but never heard of tat for tit.

I feel some exciting football coming our way, and hopefully a return to respectability.

I disagree. I believe we have added more than 2 immediate impact players. I think Manny Lawson will have an immediate impact. Either Kolb or Manuel will have an immediate impact (hopefully a positive one) Dustin Hopkins will have an immediate impact if he gives us the confidence to put points on the board in situations we had to pass up on last season. There are more that I believe will contribute as well like Goodwin on kickoff returns and on running plays.

I agree with this assessment. In his highlight reel, it seemed that he had more sweeps, reverses and runs than he did receptions. A good dual threat for our Offense.

Does he say if he believes in any way that this relates to success on the field?

Teams, or at least Offenses, get their identity from the QB, not the other way around. Do you think franchise QB's are so plentiful that we can wait for the team to develop an identity and then go out and get the QB that best fits the team? You need a leader to start with and then build from there.

He looked plenty fast running back that pick 6 from Andrew Luck.

Someone has to campaign for him, even if it is him. This is a good thing, maybe being around football will help his case, like it has for Cris Carter.

You think we were better off taking no QB at all versus taking the one that the entire evaluating committee deemed the best chance at being a franchise quarterback? That is absurd. Given the amount of time Marrone and Hackett spent with Nassib, I am going to trust their decision not to bet their futures on him. As far as taking no QB other than Nassib, they would be killed by fans and media alike for that decision if they had made it.

He was a fourth round pick according to a bunch of reporters, that does not mean that was how NFL teams viewed him. He has the skill, upside and leadership to be a franchise QB for years to come and IMO would have been on another roster if we had waited until round 2. You may disagree but I am thrilled that we chose him over Geno Smith even though the "experts" would have praised our draft if we had taken him instead.

I believe he has the talent to succeed regardless of where he was drafted. However, there is a good chance that if he were with a team other than the *Pats, he may never have been able to showcase those skills. He is not a purely "system" guy, he is better than that, but he would not have made Superbowl winners out of the Jaguars or many other teams for that matter, in my opinion.

I thought you were comparing him to Sporano at first and I was going to object. Soprano is a much better comparison.

9. A Jet. (you missed the worst one of them all.)

Solid B for potential but could become an A if Manuel and others live up to their expectations.

he actually said they were going to "keep the communication open"

Great analysis, this makes good sense. Any opinion on Kolb's ability to run this offense? I don't know much about his deep ball accuracy. I would love to see Manuel on the field as soon as possible, but I hope they don't put him out there before he is ready.

Negative ghost rider, the pattern is full.

I was thinking about that too. The Da'Rick Rogers thread is longer. I for one am very excited about this pick and I agree that he will most likely be an opening day starter. I think there is not much being said because it is a nice safe pick that most people agree with, so lack of controversy equals lack of commentary.

I found it on a Vikings website if anyone wants to view. He also said that Buffalo had 10 coaches in the room with him at the combine, breaking down film, etc. I agree, he is well spoken. I did not hear the part about EJ Manuel but that may have been a different clip. http://www.vikings.com/media-vault/videos/Combine-Presser-USC-WR-Robert-Woods/070119a1-ee5e-4dd5-8b68-12032620f90a

IMO, very safe. Moulds and Peerless Price were much better when they were together. These new receivers are an absolute compliment to Stevie who has been one of the few shinng stars in an otherwise dark sky. Safe and hopefully even stronger with no more constant double covers.

Another pre-draft report: http://www.packers.com/media-center/videos/WR-DaRick-Rogers-talent-isnt-being-dismissed/363d5411-9ae2-4667-afb0-e63717657fbc

Walter football scouting report had stated that he would be a good fit for the Bills and we should take him in round 2. This is even better. (except of course that UDFA's only get 3 year contracts) http://walterfootball.com/scoutingreport2013drogers.php Buffalo needs a receiver to complement Stevie Johnson. Rogers would be a nice fit with the Bills, and he could be a good selection for them in the second round. The Jets have a weak receiving corps, and Santonio Holmes could flame out at any time. Landing a wide out like Rogers would be a nice upgrade for New York.

Another LB maybe now?
